I'm Joining The Club!!!

Hey guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum as a proud new owner (soon to be) of a 2012 C63...

Really look forward to the discussion, as well as your knowledge on the AMG product line.

This is my first time in the realm, and have to say that it is a dream come true.

Here are a couple of pics (am picking it up on Wednesday) - have already switched over the wheels and had the windows tinted.

Now, let the modding begin, as well as the justification of the increase in my credit card transactions and the decrease of my wife and I's bank account balances!!!

I've learned that it is much easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission...

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks everyone for the kind comments!

I can't take too much more of this...I have heartburn, am anxious and can't sleep! The anticipation is killing me!

How about the rear-passenger's center armrest?

(bought new high density foam to replace this old stuff but haven't had the time to cut and fit it yet, but you get the idea) BTW, C-class and E-class armrests are exactly the same...

They're C AMG wheels. There are now three "standard" amg rims offered for the C. At least the one's i've seen looks like those on the picture

the rear center armrest is too far away, it only takes a zombie 2 seconds to reach through the window and start tearing the flesh off your body.

I would go with a custom under the steering wheel/front console mount.

Congrats on the new car, looking good!
I think I slept maybe 2 hours the night before I picked up mine.

Beautiful car. The rims/tires, however, look different from the new style 2012 18''s I've seen -- these look wider and meatier somehow.

Again, thank you all for your warm welcome!

Just brought her home tonight....in case you are wondering, I will be sleeping in my garage..

As to the wheels, they are 19" E63 Performance Pack Rep's from Powerwheelspro.com...

Juts transfered them from my E to the 63.

I can't say how much I love this car..it is everything and more than I expected. What a dream...no better bang for the buck in my opinion.

Time to eat and go on a drive!

Those wheels look amazing. Any problems with the fitment (IE: Spacers, special bolts etc)? Those are 19''s right?

none whatsoever...no rubbing no nothing...running 245's upfront FYI

to reiterate, have been riding these rims for a year now and have had no issues from a quality perspective...beauty of it is that a set is $700 so smacking a curb and bending or cracking a rim on potholes is not that big of a worry...

even my service manager was impressed with how well they have held up in comparison to OEM 19's

disclaimer (I'm not saying that I or anyone else, for that matter, will never have an issue...just saying that with all that I've been through to date, nothing's happened.)

Did they quit selling those? I couldn't find 19'' on their site?
